Words and Sounds

Ben has been learning and doing so much fun stuff lately. He really has been changing so much over the last month or so, particularly with his communication - using his please and all done signs, saying some words and lots of animal sounds. He also is quite the flirt and loves to wave and blow kisses in church and to everyone in the grocery store.

I started this list of words a few weeks ago and it's fun now to see how many more I can add! Ben's first official word was ball at 13 months. He still doesn't really use mama and dada reliably. Here's the list we can remember right now:
Ball
Dog
Uh oh
Bye
this
More and milk (he says Ma for both more and milk but he definitely knows what he means when he says it)
No
What's this?
cracker
duck
car
whoa/wow
baby

And my attempts over the last few weeks to try to capture some of his works and sounds. Probably way too many videos for anyone but grandparents.

trying to get him to say ball and he says "What's this" instead

showing his please sign

Finally caught him saying "ball!"

The elephant is one of our favorites - this doesn't fully capture it but you get the point =)
